Review: It's the First Day of School...Forever!

It's the First Day of School....FOREVER
By: R.L. Stine
I found it: In the new books section of Youth Services

What is it about? Arnie is starting a new school, and his day starts off really badly. It just gets worse from there!

The real nightmare is that everytime Arnie thinks he has figured out how to survive this horrible day, he wakes up! The entire day has started all over again.
This is a great fall read. It has just enough "back to school" for September, and enough horror for October.
I did not think it was too scary. There is a lot of action in this book! My big fear was that I would get bored reading about the same day over and over again, but the story changed each time.
